Biography
When a luchadora due to take place in the second Tag Tournament is injured in a car crash, a grieving woman, most likely the woman's mother, pleads with Julia to take her position instead. While initially hesitant, Julia agrees to don the luchadora outfit and enter the tournament under the alias "Jaycee". The identity of the injured woman and her link to Julia is left unknown.

While Julia herself has a kind and compassionate nature, she is much more flamboyant and extroverted as her Jaycee alter-ego, showing off a much more confident and aggressive nature fitting of a luchador.

Character Relationships

Gameplay
While retaining some attacks from her original moveset, Jaycee acquires more grappling moves to fit in with her new wrestling style. She also has some faster leaps and strikes, providing her with more mix up choices and attacks to close the distance between herself and her opponent. However, this new tools are to be used carefully, as they can leave her very vulnerable should they whiff or be blocked.
Fighting Style
Jaycee's moveset includes both Julia's fighting style (which is a mixture of various Chinese martial arts, such as Xin Yi Liu He Quan and Baji Quan, among others) and a plethora of brand new moves inspired by Lucha Libre. Some of her new moves also involve the use of her buttocks.
Quotes
Trivia
General:
- Jaycee is based on the Japanese pro wrestler, Tiger Dream.
- She is seen in the opening trailer as a wrestler and tag partner of Armor King II, wearing a Lucha mask to take the place of a friend of hers who was injured in a car accident.
- In Tekken Pachislot 3rd and CR Tekken 2, however, she is instead shown as the companion of King II. She ironically fights Armor King II, who instead teams up with Bruce Irvin, in a wrestling match with King II as her tag partner.
- Before she was revealed to be Julia Chang in disguise, the identity of Jaycee was a subject of much debate. The most cited theory was that it was Julia hiding behind the mask (later confirmed by Harada). Those who supported this view relied on the facts that she seemed to wear a pendant which is similar to the one Julia wears, she used many moves similar to Julia's and another piece of evidence being that Jaycee could also be short for Julia Chang; Julia Chang → J.C. → Jay - Cee. Others suggested that she might be Michelle Chang. That, of course, was false.
- Though she is initially available on the roster as Jaycee in Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Julia can become playable in name only. Jaycee's mask can be removed during customization; this results in her name only changing to Julia Chang.
- Jaycee shares similar character traits to Lisa's Luchadora alter-ego, La Mariposa, from the Dead or Alive series of fighting games.
- They share the same fighting style (Lucha Libre), though Julia possesses this fighting style in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Tekken Revolution only.
- They are both alter-egos of existing characters (Jaycee is Julia and La Mariposa is Lisa).
- Both of them wear masks that can be removed by using certain options.
- Both of their names change between being masked and unmasked.
- In their respective roles in the main games Tekken 7 and Dead or Alive 6, Jaycee became a heel due to her very strong performance as many fans begin to hate her causing Julia to leave the wrestling ring while La Mariposa became a face after her survival from falling into the debris in the near end of Dead or Alive 5 as many fans begin to cheered on her return to the wrestling ring.
- She shares some similar traits to R. Mika from the Street Fighter fighting games.
- They both have moves that utilize their buttocks.
- Jaycee's partners in Ghost Battle (in order from lowest to highest rank) are Craig Marduk, Armor King, Ganryu, King and Michelle Chang.
- In Bruce's Tekken Tag Tournament 2 ending, the real Jaycee and her friend are briefly seen when Bruce runs in between them.
- Jaycee is the second alter-ego character in the series after Violet.
- With Jaycee confirmed to be canon in Tekken 7, she becomes the third character to make a canonical debut after Kazumi Mishima and Eliza, although it is currently unknown whether she will be one of Julia’s alternate costumes, or unlike Kazumi and Eliza, be a mentioned character only.
